I love the Commodore name, very fond memories of my days with my C64.

You know what I do not have fond memories of? The Commodore PET.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Oh, god, no, not the Pet. Why did they name it the Pet? They could have sold a ton of these things, but naming it the Pet guarantees this will be an epic failure.

Hmm. I know a dude in London I used to work with. Wonder if I could convince him...
The new phone will also include emulators that let the phone play classic Commodore 64 and Amiga games.

Sold! I might even take back some of the shit I talked about his code working less often than Emilio Estevez after everyone forgot he's technically a Sheen.

Yeah but I don't have a 5.25" floppy drive any more from which to load my C64 games.... are they ALL available on the web somewhere?

There's <s>an app</s> a torrent for that. I know a dude with most of them anyway, stashed on his hard disk/NAS vault. The only bitch in the equation is the phone's software. Will the emulators deal with the file types?

Where's Atari and the other old skool proto-consoles?
